Junior/senior high school education
In New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania, the length of junior high school is from grade 7 to grade 10, just like China's junior one to senior one; In Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory, the junior middle school grades are from Grade 8 to Grade 10. Compulsory education in Australia ends here. After grade 10, most students will enter senior middle schools 1 1 and 12 (equivalent to Grade Two and Grade Three in China). Most middle schools have a comprehensive coeducation system. Some schools specialize in helping students enter the higher education system, and these schools also include some TAFE colleges.
Basic plan of college preparatory courses
Australian pre-university courses are designed for self-funded international students to prepare for undergraduate study. Preparatory college classes in Australia are designed to help those applicants who have completed their senior high school education in their own countries but can't directly apply for admission to Australian universities. Usually, they last for one year, but some schools offer accelerated classes for students with good grades for half a year. Australia's Institute of Technology and Continuing Education is a nationally recognized and interoperable vocational training and education system, which mainly provides professional skills training courses, most of which are practical. Many TAFE courses are jointly organized with industrial groups to ensure the most practical training and the latest professional news. TAFE is the largest higher education department in Australia and the main force of higher education in Australia, where 70% of Australian high school graduates study. Of the 232 major TAFE colleges in Australia, 98 are located in major cities and state capitals, and the rest 134 are evenly distributed in suburban towns and rural areas. All TAFE diplomas are shared and recognized by the state. Courses offered by TAFE include accounting, secretarial work, marketing, business management, agriculture and animal husbandry, land and marine resources, medical treatment, computer, gardening, child care, fashion design, beauty salons, mechanic training, sightseeing and hotel management. TAFE also provides various advanced English courses for overseas students, such as intensive English courses and academic English courses, as well as 12 grade and pre-university courses. Usually, the entrance English standard set by TAFE is IELTS 5.5 or above or TOEFL 75 or above. Those students who can't meet the admission criteria can also choose to study English in the language center set up by TAFE. After reaching the admission criteria, enter the formal course.
Australian style TAFE training program
In June 2008, the Labor and Social Security Department of Hebei Province officially approved TAFE's training program in Australia. TAFE (Technology and Continuing Education) system was fully introduced in China, and the TAFE certificate was officially settled in our province for the first time. For students who have successfully completed this course in China according to relevant Australian professional standards, the Australian side will issue TAFE certificates.
The approval of this project indicates that students can get the same level of Australian education in China, and they can directly obtain professional qualification certificates worldwide. According to the Australian education system, the holder of this certificate can directly climb the ladder at important stages of life, such as further education (academic education), overseas employment, Australian immigration and so on. At the same time, students who receive this course education in China will also have greater competitiveness in the employment of international enterprises in China.
According to the regulations of the project, the implementation unit of the project in China is Shijiazhuang Feng Fan Image Design Art School, and the Bendigo Institute of Skills and Continuing Education and Training in Australia is responsible for the education implementation and teaching management of the project, implementing unified high-quality teaching and evaluation, and the TAFE certificate is issued by Australian official institutions.
This program is suitable for graduates with high school or equivalent education, and can build a successful ladder for graduates before overseas employment and immigration. This ladder can effectively solve the problems of high immigration threshold, China students not qualified to work abroad, lack of work experience, and high price to meet the above conditions. University education in Australia began in 1950s in 19. The University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne followed the model of Oxford and Cambridge in England. By 19 1 1, six major cities have their own universities to meet the needs of the country's rapid development. At present, there are 38 excellent universities in Australia. Most universities are located in urban areas or by the sea, and some are located in rural areas. Schools vary in size, with 3,000 to 27,000 students or more. Australia has a population of17 million, and the proportion of Australian students in the national population is relatively high compared with other countries in the world.
